WOW, do i love a good stoner movie! Maybe it has something to do with me loving to get high myself and being able to relate to how the main character deals with situations. There seems to be a lot of people here who have to over analyze even the simplest movies. I'm not a typical stoner. I'm actually finishing up a university education and am very successful at keeping my love for pot and my professional life separate and i know that the main character is the worst kind of cannabis user and some people here talk like this movie is an anti drug movie because of how irresponsible she is and how she ends up and bla bla bla, but it's a comedy and there's nothing wrong with being a bit over the top and i find it perfectly cool that they actually show that there can be consequences to being an idiot. You have to be a real dummass if you think that smoking pot will make you do or become like the main character in this movie. Anyway, me and my friends are a bit disappointed with the marks this movie got here because we just spent the whole movie laughing ourselves to tears and i think Anna Faris was perfect for this role.

I saw this movie on a whim because it had some actors I knew, and looked like something similar to Napoleon Dynamite or other quirky films. One critic on the DVD box says "it's like Harold and Kumar but with a chick". Personally, I found it only slightly similar, if even that. Possibly because I wasn't craving a white castle burger the entire time (FYI, the nearest one is over 5 hours away from my home).

For starters, this is a very unique film. I can't really compare it to anything. It does center around drugs. But instead of people just hanging out and smoking pot the whole time (if I remember "dazed and confused", among others), this is about one pothead (Faris) who accidentally eats a batch of "special" cupcakes and who leaves home on a wacky adventure, trying to make things right. It kind of puts a silly spin on things, showing how she has a game plan (but keeps having to change it because of her dumb drug-influenced moves), loves her bed way too much (you'll see what I mean), and basically acts like a pothead might act in certain situations. It's interesting, as most of the time the filming style is bright and clear, rather than dark or "tripped out" like so many other drug movies. The happy setting just highlights how dumb she's acting because of the drugs.

I found she does a convincing job of portraying the habitual stoner, so if you want to see her looking pretty (and not totally and incomprehensibly stoned) you should look elsewhere; I thought she looked good in Scary Movie 3 and My Super Ex Girlfriend, so check those out. But back to the acting, the cast worked well together in this one, with Adam Brody (from the OC) as the dreadlock-toting drug dealer and John Krasinski (from The Office) as the infatuated friend, who tries to help her get the cash she needs. Danny Masterson was also funny as the creepy roommate.

It was a fun watch, but overall the story is really shallow, it's purely focused on Faris and her misadventures that day. That's not necessarily a bad thing, given the way the film is written. I would have liked to see more of Brody and Krasinski, but it was definitely a unique adventure with some definite funny moments, that may take a while to get into. You'll soon find yourself hitting yourself in the head at every bonehead move that Faris makes, and wondering if she'll ever sober up. I also didn't like the ending too much, but then again you could argue it goes against the normal "movie ending". Still, I think they could have done a lot more. That's all I'll say for now, enjoy the show.

It's almost nihilistic in presentation. Stories about burnouts are funnier when you know they have the potential to be something more, but they keep sabotaging themselves because they needs the weeds.

Anna Farris delivers a sympathetic and pathetic character at the same time, her comic timing is incredible as always. Also John Krasinski is a highlight (and admittedly unrecognizable)

The comedic dialogue really snaps with observations and the phrasing alone always makes me crack up just thinking about it.

C'mon dude, dont wanna be late for that dentist appointment!!
